Ho ho ho, now that’s a good idea… you could probably even swap in your Honda drivetrain into one… ---

If it’s in the budget buy newmans 240. For about 22k which includes the cost of his car and parts you’d have a running 1000 whp RWD monster. ---

it seems kind of pointless to build up a street car that could get smashed up at the track or could get me arrested if i wanted to have fun with it. so im planning to build an ITA prepped crx or civic hatch so i can race foreel rather than trying to be l33t on da str33ts. but as of right now buying a house takes priority so anything auto related is on the back burner. ---

Hmm, this V8 Miata project sounds pretty interesting… [http://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?p=1600388#post1600388](http://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?p=1600388#post1600388) Caddy 4.9L, fits with no crossmember mods, using stock Miata motor mounts. ---

I used to own one of those. I miss it so much. Such a nicely bulit car.Thats the 71-75 non-us spec car. The 76-77 were cooler looking and had a host of chassis improvents like 4" more wheelbase, structural reinforcement, etc… I was going to throw an ls1 in mine but they easily swallow 2jz engines. RWD and 2100 lbs. There was no B pillar either so when you rolled down the rear windows you had a huge open window on the side of the car. When I owned mine people never stopped breaking their neck to look at it and giving me thumbs up on it. They are actually alot around. Only problem is body parts being so expensive. Thats why I had to get rid of mine. Some asshole hit me and a new front fender cost 1000 bucks new. I didnt have the money then so I had to dump it. I always thought these and the same year skylines looked just awesome. As Mike from Innovative about it. It used to be parked next to his in his driveway. ---
